So that was 7 years with it, and the vet believes that if they had caught it sooner, then she would have lived even longer.

I'm not a vet, but I know Cushing's can be treatable and some dogs can live with it. Although my darling Cammie was blind, she was adorable and loving. Always happy to "see" me walk through the door and was my best friend until the day I knew would come and I had to make the hardest decision of my life.

Prayers for your baby, know that there is hope. Hugs and licks from Gizmo.

thanks so much for the prayers and advice. they do give hope. it is truly wonderful that your little cammie did so well with her treatment, and i'm sure it's because you took the best of care of her!!! i am truly sorry for your loss. i know how painful it is losing one of your babies, i just lost my little nika this past august and it has been so hard. my heart goes out to you. thank you for sharing. my dad has a 14 year old yorkie named gizmo who is my zowi's sister from a different litter, love that name. hugs and licks back to gizmo!
